You are correct, Raph! I played Ingress before Pokemon and only had the occasional crossing paths with other players, awkwardly nodding and quickly walking away. Pokemon took me by surprise, it filled entire parks and made AR a thing. I am still in awe of it, but I’ve stuck to Ingress because it was the first game that used the world around me as scenario, and it bewildered me. I’m an agent, y’all!

I think you just gave me the topic for my next article :)
